WHY LISTENING IS SO MUCH MORE THAN HEARING

"Listening is a skill that we’re in danger of losing in a world of digital distraction and information overload.... And yet we dare not lose it. Because listening tunes our brain to the patterns of our environment faster than any other sens e, and paying attention to the nonvisual parts of our world feeds into everything........“You never listen” is not just the complaint of a problematic relationship, it has also become an epidemic in a world that is exchanging convenience for content, speed for meaning. The richness of life doesn’t lie in the loudness and the beat, but in the timbres and the variations that you can discern if you simply pay attention." By SETH S.

YOU CAN'T GET THIS DAY BACK

PHAZE - WARRIOR FOR LOVE - RIP

you changed my life little buddy. in magnificent proportions. the most incredible little person in a dog suit I've ever met. you empirically taught me the meaning of unconditional love - and I am forever a better person because of our time together. I miss you everyday. we will play together in my heart - for always.

----

ever since I learned about Malala Yousufzai 4 days ago, I can't stop thinking about her....constantly.....a warrior, an inspiration....she is still alive, but in critical condition...I sing to her everyday, focusing on recovery, and thanking her for her strength. this sketch was inspired by her and will be developed into something more.

Knowledge is infinite and should never be denied.
